From the recording SING LOUDER
In 1971 the world was asked to sing in perfect harmony.
Today we need to raise our voices together once again,
and sing louder to be heard above the noise. – MC
Lyrics
I feel feet tapping through the floor
I hear hammers on strings
Rising under the door
She is whiling the hours away
She plays her music
Most every day
She’s seen life that I’ve never known
Over 100 years old
And she is still on the go
When I ask how she’s lived all those years
She laughs till she cries
Then she speaks through her tears
She says…
Live what you love
Love what you do
Laugh with your friends
Cry with them too
Sing every day
Sing out loud sing out clear
If you don’t know the words
Sing louder
Sing stronger
Sing louder, sing stronger
For all the world to hear
She’s walking out when I’m walking in
On her arm is a cane
On her face is a grin
When I ask how she’s feeling today
Her smile tells it all
But here’s what she says:
Live what you love
Love what you do
Laugh with your friends
Cry with them too
Sing every day
Sing out loud sing out clear
If you don’t know the words
Sing louder
Sing stronger
Sing louder, sing stronger
For all the world to hear
When she left us
The silence was deafening
So I climbed up the stairs
To her room
I sat at her keys
With my hands on my knees
Till a song filled my heart
It was loud it was clear
I wasn’t quite sure
Of all of the words
So I sang louder
I sang stronger
I sang louder and stronger
For all the world to hear
I sang…
Live what you love
Love what you do
Laugh with your friends
Cry with them too
Sing every day
Sing out loud sing out clear
If you don’t know the words
Sing louder
Sing stronger
Sing louder, sing stronger
For all the world to hear
